IPad 2 Stuck in Restore

So I was trying to restore my iPad 2 that I just got because I wanted to restore it from a backup of my iPhone. During the restore process, in iTunes the status bar reaches almost to the end and on the iPad the status bar reaches about 2/3 of the way across. Then it just sits there forever. I have hard rebooted it from there to try again but it keeps happening.
I have tried to put it in DFU mode, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. Any advice is appreciated, I just want it to be functional again! Right now it's stuck in recovery mode and I'm trying to redownload the iPad software and try again.

Hi,
Help here for an unresponsive iPad.

You may have an app on your iPhone that's not compatible with an iPad. Not all are.

1st gen. Ipad stuck after Restore

Hello there, I recently have restored my Ipad, and the screen seems to get stuck on the "Terms and Conditions" page each and every time I try. It works on all the other pages before that like the Wifi page, and the Location page, but for some reason it just wont work on the terms and condtions page. If anyone has any solutions at all please let me know. Thanks!

Yes, there is nothing I can do the "I agree" button will not work nor will the disagree button. But all of the other buttons work like the back button... It's really weird and it only freezes on that screen...

IPad stuck in restore mode after update to iOS 8.02

I attempted to do this yesterday and after the update was extracted I kept getting an Unknown error 3104. I tried everything form editing the hosts file in Windows 8.1, disabling my Anti-Virus. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my router, etc, etc but nothing worked!!! This was very distressing for me as I couldn't use the iPad!!
This morning I tried one last thing. I Downloaded iTunes on another Windows 8.1 PC I have and connected the iPad to it. It detected that it was in Restore mode and download the update from Apple and finally restored the iPad to factory settings!! After this I connected the iPad back on my original PC and restore it to how it was from the last backup made yesterday. Phew!! Apple should say something like this for other users or at least provide some way to get out of restore mode if an update fails or becomes corrupt!!

Apple does make the suggestion to try another computer and another Internet connection for that very same error code that you got.
Restore or update on another computer
Try to restore or update on another computer with a different Internet connection. This will help rule out other issues on your computer that might stop iTunes from communicating with the update server.
Errors 1639, 3000-3020, and 3100-3999 (with the exception of 3194) are sometimes caused by your network settings. If your computer uses a managed network, refer to your network administrator. Proxies, firewalls, and other network security measures can cause these errors. If necessary, find a different network connection to restore the device. For example, if you're restoring at work, try to restore at home or on a friend's computer and network.

I got a new PC; when trying to sync my iPad I downloaded iTunes onto the PC; got a message that my iPad did not have the newest version of iTunes, would I like to update my iPad; I clicked yes then; since then my iPad is stuck in restore and may lose all

Tried to sync iPad to new PC; got message that iPad did not have most current iTunes and would I like to update; selected update; got an error message saying a file was corrupt; iPad stuck in restore mode; no pictures transferred to PC; Apple Store Tech said only solution is to restore factory settings to my iPad but this will cause me to lose hundreds of precious and irreplaceable photos and videos; HELP?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

TS3694 Stuck in restore mode corrupted files

iPad stuck in restore mode say corrupted files

Well for me it is now official. I am not getting another ipad because after updating, I should not have to restore and lose everything. I am going to give the windows pad a try. My wife and daughter are also ready to get the **** away from this darn "ibad".

HT201210 I tried to update my iPad 2 with the iOS 6.0. Now I am stuck in restore mode and keep getting an unkown error 3014 and sometimes -1. What in the world can I do?

I tried to update my iPad 2 with the iOS 6.0. Now I am stuck in restore mode. I get "unknown" errors 3014 and sometimes -1. Any ideas?

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Ipad is stuck saying restoring in albums.

ipad is stuck saying restoring in albums. pictures are showing up in photos but not in albums tab. I unchecked icloud both on the ipad and through computer. I even deleted icloud account off of ipad and still restoring will not go away. I tryed resynching to itunes with backup to computer checked. I tryed restarting ipad and restarting wifi. I just want to delete all photos and stop it from restoring.

Try rebooting: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons. Your iPad should restart and you won't lose any data or settings.

My IPAD2 is stuck on restoring ipad firmware. Whereas, I had unplugged it several times to restore it again; however my IPAD is stuck on the iTunes logo. Please what should I do to restore or get my IPAD working normal again. Please advise,

Hi there,
my Ipad is stuck on the iTunes logo. When I try to restore my ipad again it would get stuck on Restoring Ipad Firmware. I had unplugged it several times; and redo the whole restoring agian but its still the same thing. Please really need your help in how I can restore my Ipad to the way it was before.
please advise,
Alvin

removing volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement. WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY.

IPad 1 stuck in restore mode

Hi,
After numerous attempts and remedies across the net my ipad is still stuck in restore mode, each time returning the follwing error code: The iPad 'iPad' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1). This is not the usual timing out error, or so I think, and must be something else. Is anyone able to help. Putting in DFU mode, trying to re-set just isn't working sop at the moment it's stuck not doing anything and all data has been lost on the face of it if I can't get to a backup. I've tried downloading the update and manually retoring but still nothing.
I've tried 3 different PC's, removing anit-virus, spyware and firewalls etc to no avail, so any other support welcome or it's out of the window!!!

My wife had a problem that sounds exactly like what you're describing. She has OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5 and tried to put the new system on her 3G iPad 1. The backup went fine, but she got an unknown error 1 during the install of the new system. We weren't using this iPad for development and it was never jailbroken.
We tried putting the iPad into recovery mode, switching cables, restarting the computer, salt over the left shoulder and everything else we could think of and discover via google. My wife finally took the iPad to the "genius" at the Corte Madera Apple Store and he claimed it was a hardware failure and offered to sell her a refurbished iPad for $499. He wouldn't admit that there was any chance the problem was a result of the upgrade process.
Since we didn't believe that this "hardware failure" was a coincidence that just happened to occur during the system update, we persisted with our own attempts to solve the problem and ended up with a solution.
With the iPad in recovery mode, we turned AirPort off (and disconnected ethernet) on the Mac and restarted the update process in iTunes. When iTunes said it couldn't connect to the Apple server, we turned AirPort back on for just long enough to get the update process to resume, then we turned AirPort off again. After a while, iTunes tried to reach the server again and failed, so we turned AirPort back on for just a few seconds and then turned it off again. After that, the update continued just fine and the iPad is no longer a brick. We're pretty sure this wasn't just because the Apple servers were less busy. We had the same error moments before doing the no-WiFi trick.

IPad stuck in restarting after restore

Hello!
After unsuccessfully updating the software of the iPad, i've done a hard reset on the iPad. It asked me to plug into iTunes for iPad to be restored. The restoration went perfectly, however, when it tried to restart, i'm stuck with the apple logo and a progress bar that doesn't fill. I've tried the hard reset and went thorugh the same process a couple of times. It still would not work! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Shaun.

Solved by using another cable.
*Do note that the original cable syncs perfectly with the iPad and the iPhone just today!

Hi casscook!
I have an article here for you that can explain some information about your iOS backups in iTunes, including where they are found:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Ipad won't restore!

Hi - my Ipad crashed some how and went into recovery mode. I've connected it to my computer, it is reading in Itunes. I have started the restore process several times and I continue to get stuck on "preparing ipad for restore" stage. I've left it for up to 24 hours and still nothing. If I disconnect it without quitting Itunes, it will say "waiting for Ipad" on the top bar....when I connect, I get an error 4014, which I've read up on. Itunes is up to date, as is my OS. When I hold the home and start keys, I get nothing on my screen...........boo.......is my Ipad hooped?!?! Anything I can do to recover at this point?
